“I’ve heard everything your eldest daughter-in-law said. Now tell me what really happened.”

Ye Ningwan lightly scratched her palm with her fingernails, bit her back teeth, and pursed her lips without answering for a long time.

This question seems simple, but it is actually not so easy to answer.

In front of Old Master Pei, Ye Ningwan naturally couldn't say that Pei Minghan was beaten by Pei Fengzhi's men, otherwise wouldn't that be sowing discord between the uncle and nephew, giving Old Master Pei an excuse to cause trouble for her?

Of course, she couldn't mention that Pei Minghan had harassed her.

That would be courting death.

While Ye Ningwan was still pondering how to begin, Madam Pei, standing to the side, spoke up with extreme impatience.

"What, speechless now? I bet you've been holding a grudge against Minghan ever since she broke off your engagement and then got engaged to Ye Ruoxin!"

"Ye Ningwan, you're already married, yet you still covet Minghan's hand? How shameless of you!"

Madam Pei's voice lingered in Ye Ningwan's ears for a moment before she completely forgot about it.

She slowly raised her head and finally spoke her first words since entering the tea room.

"Dad, this matter that Minghan is dealing with has nothing to do with me."

Upon hearing this, Madam Pei immediately jumped up and pointed at Ye Ningwan, shouting fiercely.

"Minghan is in the hospital, and Xinxin saw you hit him with her own eyes! You still won't admit it!"

Madam Pei gritted her teeth and said to Old Master Pei.

"Dad, if Ye Ningwan had just apologized and admitted her mistake, this matter would have been over. But since she doesn't want to let things go, then I won't be polite. If you don't discipline her today, I'll kneel in front of you and never get up!"

As Madam Pei spoke, she actually knelt down with a thud!

Old Master Pei frowned, looking at Ye Ningwan with considerable displeasure.

In an instant, the atmosphere in the entire tea room became tense and confrontational.
